Clio 200 cup racer on the road?! - Little Eaton island - Derby - 16:00



  340i
Spotted this earlier.. White, roof vent, covered in vinyls etc.

Real or replica? Anyone seen this before?:eek:

I'd have thought they'd have much more robust gearboxes than the chocolate-sychro'd ones renault put in the road cars?

They have gearboxes designed to take heavy loads for short durations while being light, like most race parts.

Ie change them every couple of K and you wont have a problem which is no issue on a race car, but a big problem on a 25K a year road car, as its monthly, lol

The boxes just aren't designed for that kind of driving, stop start in traffic etc. They are built for short duration, hard load.

also they don't have a reverse gear ;)

Buying a new cup racer and having it made road legal is on my list of things to do if I win the euromillions, however un practical and expensive it is.

£70,000 a pop from Renaultsport in France, or was it 70,000 euros? I vaguely remember 70,000 any who.

Sure?

They used to list the price on the RS website but don't anymore, I seem to remember it being somewhere around £30-40k

I think it's a proper one as such.

My bodyshop preps the cars for a team that race in gulf colours. The main driver lives fairly local I think, and pretty sure he built a road legal one for a laugh from what I'm told. He's got some nice cars!

34k plus vat for a new car.

Probably Simon Belcher. He has a white road cup stripped with a roof vent etc.

He uses it for promotion and track days prior to events.

It wasn't a 20ten car.

Darren Wilson drives the gulf colours cup. He has some nice cars yes, including a yellow 458, but no road legal cup.

The 20ten white car has no stickers on it.

Blimey Josh, they have gone up, I know when I first asked about one, they were 21k+vat.

Might need to speak to about suspension.
 
The guys from Scuderia Vittora / One Call have a UR 200 that's the same as their cup racers that they drive about the roads.

I'm sure I've got a picture of it somewhere.

Josh is correct... The car is used for promotion, after a little research (Facebook) I found a photo of the car:

The 'real' Cup Racer they have is a black one.

Would make sense that being a press car... IIRC the race cars don't generally have painted Brembos...

I'd be interested to know what it is, someone did tell me once when I was working up at Donny, but I've forgotton, I remember them saying it was a few dollars tho..

Yes.
Orbisound system.

Black one is this seasons car. The white one for road even has red callipers, the race cars don't. As well as the standard dash and seats. And being right hand drive.

It actually sits in a renault show room in Swindon a lot of the time iirc.

He uses the road car to do track days in before each race weekend using slicks of the race cars! Closest thing you can get to them without as your not allowed to do testing in the race cars! I've driven it and I remember him telling me its a decat system iirc
